    a very hard hitter with a sturdy chin facing a hard hitting boxer with a weak chin. its not hard to predict what'll happen in this scenario.

    rocky by KO.
    do you even know what you are talking about?
    Lewis was around 245 pounds and Marciano was around 185 pounds which is almost light Heavyweight.
    David vs Goliath.

      Lewis would have trounced him. The size advantage is overwhelming and makes all the difference here. If they were both 5'10 I'd pick Marciano.

          Have to pack Lennox here, too big, too long on the jab. Too powerful, Rocky eats jab for 6-7 rounds and then gets pole axed.

            If Rocky was around today he will be the

            undisputed Super Middle Weight champion of the world.

            I think he can knock out Andre Ward.

            Rocky weight around 175 during his prime. so he can go down to 167 and rehydrate up to like 177 in this era.

            I see him having great battles with Carl Froch.

            This is his division - the SMW Division;

            Rocky Marciano have as much of a chance against Lewis as
            Andre Ward have against Wladimir Klitschko.

            Weight Classes exist for a reason.. I love Rocky Marciano. I consider him the greatest 175 h2h fighter of all times.

              When did Lewis become slow for a man that weighs 250 and is 6'5" he's fast same with wald and vitali.

              Lewis beats Marciano easily most likely stopped on cuts. He's just to big with a great jab and right hand only way Marciano wins is if he lands the same punch he did on Walcott or lands a bomb like hasim Rahman did but I doubt it. He's even shorter then they were that's a lot of reaching.

                Lewis takes this about 8 times out of 10. Marciano had elite power, stamina and chin, but I think Lewis would be too smart and too big to let Marciano get close enough to land big. I see Lewis landing the uppercut as Marciano comes in almost at will by the 5th. Lewis by mid round KO.

                  Lewis would be way too big but is overrated too
                  He could perform well at times yet other times he was shocking

                    Marciano has an impressive record but he hardly faced prime opps anywhere near the likes of Lennox, and yet Rocky still struggled against several of his old timer opponents. Add to the primeness Lewis weight advantage, and the only way Rocky is going to win is by lucky punch. Though I dont think he would get stopped (apart from by bloody tko).

                      Just look at the size difference, it's way too big for Marciano to win. Lewis via KO/TKO.
